Director of Legal @ Malbek | Legal Tech Author and Commentator | Fastcase 50 2022 Honoree | Legal Tech Startup Advisor and Investor

I help legal professionals, legal teams, and technology organizations make sense of legal technology so they can work smarter, deliver stronger outcomes, and lead with confidence in a field that is often noisy, fragmented, and misunderstood.

As General Counsel of Malbek and a long-time educator, author, and advocate, I sit at the intersection of law, technology, and learning. My work centers on translation. I take complex, fast-moving technologies and turn them into clear concepts, practical strategies, and informed decisions that legal professionals can actually use. Whether guiding teams through digital transformation or shaping how legal products are built and adopted, my focus is always on clarity over hype.

Teaching is core to how I operate. I regularly speak to diverse audiences, from military organizations to law firms and in-house legal departments, as well as large professional groups, on AI’s impact on legal work and the responsible, effective use of technology. Across these settings, my goal is the same: to help people understand not just what tools do, but how they change legal work, roles, and judgment.

That same educational mission runs through my writing and publishing. I am the author of The Legal Tech Ecosystem, a foundational guide to understanding the industry and its players, a co-author of CLM for Dummies, and the editor of the Handbook of Legal Tech. I also write regularly, serve as a columnist for Today’s General Counsel, and contribute through podcasts, webinars, and industry forums. Each platform is another way to make legal tech more accessible, grounded, and actionable.

Across every role, my aim is to equip people with the knowledge and confidence to engage with innovation thoughtfully and critically. If you are trying to cut through the legal tech noise, educate your team, modernize how your legal function operates, or build tools that truly serve legal professionals, I help move you from uncertainty to understanding and from learning to execution.

Let’s build what comes next.

AI Agents and Your Data: Two Questions You Should Be Asking

As AI agents become more prevalent in legal workflows, I'm noticing a gap in the conversations happening around their adoption. We're discussing capabilities and use cases extensively, but glossing over the practical realities of data management and security.

Two areas deserve sharper focus:

1) Data Handling and Storage
When an AI agent processes your documents, drafts your contracts, or analyzes your matter files, where does that data actually go? How long is it retained? Is it used for model training? These aren't theoretical questions. They're foundational to understanding what you're agreeing to when you deploy these tools.

Most lawyers assume their data stays private and ephemeral. It doesn't always. Different providers take vastly different approaches to data retention, storage locations, and usage rights. Some retain your inputs for 30 days. Others longer. Some use customer data to improve their models unless you explicitly opt out. The terms matter, and they're rarely transparent.

2) Cybersecurity
AI agents typically require broader access than traditional software. They need to read files, access systems, sometimes act on your behalf. That expanded access creates expanded risk.

Are you treating AI agent deployments with the same security rigor you'd apply to any third-party vendor with system access? Validating their security certifications? Understanding their incident response protocols? Reviewing their encryption standards?

I'm optimistic about these tools. Their potential is real. But potential comes with responsibility. 

We need to ask hard questions about data practices and security standards before deployment, not after something goes wrong.

The legal profession has a particular obligation here. We're stewards of confidential client information. 

That duty doesn't evaporate because the technology is new or exciting.
